there's livestock that have technically been abandoned by their dead owners, and are left to wander around the village. there is no scene depicting the abandonment of an animal, however.

I would say yes, because they are abandoned by dead owners. And the player has the choice to kill them or not.

There is one line in the beginning section where the protagonist says his wife "is scary when she's angry". However, it's said that this line is not meant to allude to domestic abuse and was in reference to a famous scene from the previous game (in which your wife is possessed and tries to kill you). There are no hints to domestic abuse besides this line.

In a cutscene you briefly meet survivors hiding away, and one has been abusing alcohol to cope. He drunkenly berates the others. There are no scenes of alcohol abuse afterwards, though some areas have a motif of alcohol, such as wine.

There are animal corpses strewn about the different areas and sometimes even strung up as decoration. You also have the option to kill any livestock wandering in the village in order to create items that boost your character. there are no animal deaths shown in cutscenes.

The Benevento section involves you taking apart and moving parts of a mannequin. The Shadows of Rose DLC has an intense section where mannequins will chase you if you are not looking at them

in the opening scene of the game, you carry a baby who will sometimes cry, but she quickly calms down. later in the game, there is a giant fetus monster who wails and babbles loudly, but the section it appears in is brief and it never shows up again afterwards.

the main goal of the game is to find and save your kidnapped baby. There's alot of imagery of babies and fetuses in the game. there is a monster you have to avoid who is a giant, mutated fetus, but the section it appears in is brief and it never shows up again after it's over.

There are references to childbirth in the game (specifically in the benevito house segment) but nothing explicit.

There is one fat character in the game, but no jokes or insults are made about his weight. I dont believe any reference to it is ever brought up in dialogue.

At one point an aircraft spirals and crashes. No known characters are on it and all we see is a puff of smoke when it hits the ground. Very brief.
